The History of La Crescenta-montrose, California

Legend has it that the man who named the town based it off three crescents, mountain peaks, that he could see from outside his window. It was perfect for a health resort, scenic and peaceful, but instead a small town came to fruition bearing no spa, but a tight knit community of hardworking individuals with a dream — La Crescenta. It is a suburban town of Los Angeles basks in the sun all year long, confusing even the plants on what season it is. While walking along the streets lined with lush grass and prominent trees, the history of this town flaunts itself, with the architecture of houses and shops taking a visitor back in time to the 90’s.
